Well we’ve been shooting at least once a week. Here’s a pic of the wife’s best group so far at 200yds off a bipod and rear bag. She loves her gun.

My wife and I are booked for Oct 21. She surprised me for our 20th anniversary next year. Like you this will be my second trip but my wife’s first. She’s decided after all these years together that she wants to hunt herself. That made me super excited. Already bought her rifle and a couple new...

So we’ve been out shooting and getting her comfortable with her new gun. Only issue she was having was getting used to using a mil scope. It just didn’t make much sense to her. I started explaining the diff between MOA and Mils and she said MOA made way more sense to her. I started looking...

For example. My Blacktail from last year was spotted at first light on a side hill across a canyon. There was absolutely no way to get any closer. He was at 503yds. The deer had no clue we were on the other side. Once the sun came over the ridge top where there was enough light for me to see him...

I agree. For quick shooting we keep the scope on its lowest power setting. If it’s a close to medium range shot, say under 300yds we can just use hold over using the reticle. No stressing about having to dial anything. Now when we’re hunting at home out west. Lots of the time you’re shooting at...

I had surgery on my right eye last June, at age 47. I went from great vision to legally blind in just over 6 months. After the surgery it took about 3 days and I had my old vision back. I went with a distance lens do to shooting sporting clays as my wife and mines main hobby. I knew I would have...

Wife out shooting her new rifle. She made several shots today at 600yds. She moved up to 200-400 and started practicing shooting off sticks. Making several hits off the sticks. Darn good job for her first time with them.

May I ask why you’d say that? For shooting paper and steel out past 1k yds it’s a damn fine cartridge. Shot one have you?

Well this was her best group today. 3/4” group. She says the recoil is a piece of cake.

That’s my long range gun. 6.5 cm. I’ve still gotta buy a new rifle for the trip. Still deciding what I’m gonna buy.

I wanted to say thanks for all the responses to my question. After many hours of research she decided on a Savage 110 in 308win. I’ve put a quality muzzle break on it and today will be her first day shooting it. For practice she’ll be shooting 150gr. When we make our trip over I think she be...

She shoots a Blaser 12g o/u. It weighs just shy of 8lbs. At a tournament we can shoot 150-200rds and she has no problem with that.

No Eland on this trip. Sable, zebra And waterbuck and also gemsbok for this trip

I also shoot a 6.5 cm. Great gun and shoot it out to 1000yds without an issue.

Yes on my first trip I rented a gun. I’m thought this trip,is why pass up the opportunity to buy another gun. We never have enough.

Although I have no issue with magnum calibers, my wife who is 5’2” is not gonna be excited to pull the trigger on those.

Need opinions for a rifle caliber for my wife with plains game. We booked a trip for plains game next year. This will be my second trip but my wife’s first. She’s never hunted before and I’d like to get her a rifle to use. I bought her a savage 243 which she’ll use for deer here in Oregon this...

My wife’s an I are going for Sable Nyala Gemsbok Waterbuck Bushbuck Springbok Zebra. Should make for some awesome mounts.

Well I need to say thanks to everyone for all the recommendations on outfitters for our next trip. We’ve finally picked our outfitter. We’ve booked with Adam Barnard at 4 Aces outfitters. His communication was amazing and prices were well inline with our budget. No the hard part. Waiting for the...

We’ve sent out quote requests to sever outfitters. I’ve already received yours and you are on our short list as of now. I have a few more questions for you and will be contacting you soon. Thanks for the reply.

Thank you for the info.

My wife’s decided she wants to to take me back to Africa for a hunt for our 20th anniversary. We’ve been looking at different outfits for the trip. We’ve got 2 packages we’re looking at. The first package is Sable, Nyala, Gemsbok, Burchel zebra, Waterbuck and springbok. My friend is looking...

Ready for the next chapter.

Well I finally got pics from my taxidermist of my completed pedestal mount kudu. I’m very happy the way it turned out. I’ll pick them up next week.

It’s been almost 18 months coming. My taxidermist asked if he could use them in his booth at a sportsman show next weekend so I’ll pick them up in a week. The wifes been helping me put the theme together in my man cave. When I showed her the pic of the Kudu pedestal she was like wow. That might...
